My fellow Boomers are always citing false memories about how visceral muscle cars were in the '60s. They claim they don't make them like that anymore, and they're right.

They make them better. Faster, lighter, safer, and still able to give 25 heart stopping miles to every gallon. My Cadillac would leave any old GTO in the dust while the A/C blows cold. Their favorite bottom line is that in 30 years no one will want the cars they make today.

Except the Supra, NSX, this GTR, and a dozen other neo classics. Everybody looks back and wants the car they couldn't take to prom.

and I sure as heck-fire can’t afford a GT-R today. I’m just glad I had a brief window to experience high torque.

So its definitely NOT a garage or trailer car. Its owner drives this car.

Seen a few other Skylines driving around NoVA and the DC area. I'm not an import guy, but if I had to have one (and had my choice) it would be the Skyline.
